In fiscal 2019, and 2018, certain intangibles associated with our acquisitions in prior years became fully amortized and were removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Amortization expense related to other intangibles was $402.3 million, $182.6 million and $153.6 million for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017 respectively. Of these amounts, $227.0 million, $91.3 million and $76.1 million were included in cost of sales for fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017 respectively.
Other intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 15 years. As of November 29, 2019, we expect the estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years to be as follows:
